Sitkum

Tom O'Keefe, Omar Jepperson, and Jan Tackett ran the river at lower flows on a cold day in November. We camped overnight at the Hyas Creek takeout. The Sitkum road was open as washout at mile 9 was temporarily repaired. Calwah was at 430 cfs. Queets was at 1700 cfs and Hoh was at 1200 cfs.  One would not want to do this run any lower. Although the run contains many deep pools, several of the gravel bars were too shallow to run. Fortunately it was just high enough that it was not necessary to actually get out of the boat.
